Hi guys. You may remember I wrote a week or so ago regarding a friend of mine who was in a bad smash, totally the other guys fault, fault admitted, she then has endured the cost of hire vehicles while he walks away Scott free. IT HAPPENED ON OCT 23rd. The vehicle is still not ready due to parts not available. She wanted it written off but transpired its repairable. Is there a car consumer complaints division/ministry/whatever that she can claim expenses from? IT IS TOTALLY UNFAIR SHE GETS HIT AND IS OUT IF POCKET THOUSANDS OF DIRHAMS FOR HIRE CARS and he walks away?????? Cheers. Don

My Tahoe 4x4 has 240,000, will need to change soon as I use it for work and have to drive a lot, occasionally off road, I'm also mum of 4 kids which sometimes invite friends over from school so I have at some point made use of the 9th sit in the front road. Which car would you recommend for me to look into to replace my Tahoe. Cristina
I have an X5 4.3 and want to change my var, but to what. Harry
I believe complaints about insurance companies are not handled by consumer protection. Insurance Authority deals with those.
